Gifts to Keep Guests Cool

Summertime calls for an endless amount of outdoor weddings. But along with those longer days, breathtaking sunsets, and starry nights come some seriously blistering temperatures. And that’s not exactly a fun situation when you have a full face of makeup and a blowout... let alone if you’re a man in a suit. I just got back from a wedding in St. Louis, and while it was an incredible weekend under the sun and stars, it certainly was a scorcher.

Are you and your spouse-to-be planning on saying and celebrating your I Do's in the heat? Your all-dolled-up guests will appreciate (maybe even praise) you for providing a few things to help them stay cool under the blazing sun. Ice cold beverages, fans, personal water bottles, and more can keep everyone from searching for the nearest AC-filled establishment and let them party into the wee hours right alongside you two.

Check out our list of some solid recommendations.

Once you get the buckets, add some scoops. Consider a couple of the Crafthouse by Fortessa Ice Scoops—just the right size to fill any glass, shaker or mixing glass quickly. Drain openings keep the water out of your drink and reduce unwanted dilution.
